divertimento grazioso




This composition dates back in my early years of composition career, back in early 1998. I was an upstart, trying to get myself a name as a composer and the first performance of this composition on 7th April 1998 helped me greatly! I still like it even though I have abandoned such style looooong time ago...
My Divertimento is still written in classical tradition in relatively clear tonality with slightly expanded sonata form: exposition and development are clear but I included a short slow intermezzo before recapitulation and fast coda.

Have fun!

Hello, Crt...

I had a lot of fun listening to this music.

The work is engaging and interesting. It was very instructive for me to find out the way you notate the extended techniques in the string instruments (which I've often wanted to use, but had little idea of how was it done), and that you were daring enough to do so in a 'classically-oriented' piece. BTW, I wouldn't brand this as 'classical', since its language is more akin to, say, Prokofiev's. Having heard other works from you, I can see how you haven't entirely 'abandoned' this style, but rather evolved and polished it into a mature composer.

Given that you and I have about the same age, it was funny for me to notice that, while you had this piece premiered in 1998, it was also in 1998 that I had the only workshop performance of one of my orchestral pieces.

Again, great job...!

Thanks for review! We have developed a strong bond by now, I see! :)

The use of extended techniques in this composition is actually a pure mockery so I used them in traditional rhythm and polyphony. I don't really like the efforts of composers who do this techniques without a meaning of expression. But it was in my student times and students are usually "smarter" than professors... ;)

Nice weekend to you, your family and friends!
